Last Summer (Thai Horror Movie, June 2013)




                                                It's been a long time since I haven't watch a movie. then this movie came along and was shown in our country, I know I just had to watch.

                                    According to some articles I have read, this is a 4-in-1 movie. Same story, but different plots. also, it's the first movie that Talent 1 studio has made.  

                                    
                          The 1st part of the movie is where Singh invites his friends, Joy, a young star and his love, Garn, and Meen, Joy's best friend, to go to the beach. They runaway and had some fun. However, things didn't end well. Somehow, Joy ended up getting asthma from the drink that boys gave to her and she died. Singh and Garn dispose's her body. As for Meen, she cries for help. As Singh and Garn tries to throw Joy away, Joy's body haunts them as Singh folds her in her luggage. Unfortunately, they died... except for Meen.
                                  
                             

                                           The 2nd part is the aftermath of Singh, Garn and Joy's death. However for Meen, she was still alive and became the witness of what happened. As she goes back to school, people mourn for Joy's death and made a memorial just for her. But as for Meen, she takes Joy's spotlight, became center of attention, like Joy, and got the scholarship she wanted. but somehow, Meen became delusional as she sees writings like "Liar" in the wall and the bathroom. She found out it all hoax. but Joy's spirit haunts her. thus, the revelation comes out that it was Meen who killed her in the beach house. Meen ended up falling from rooftop of their school and drop from stage.




                              The 3rd part is Joy's little brother, Ting, and her mother. As months pass by from Joy's death, Ting's mother still mourns for Joy  and keeps the things that Joy possesses whereas she didn't pay attention to her son, Ting, who was an athlete at school, The same school where Singh, Garn, Meen and Joy attended. He got the attention he want but soon to realize that his mom was in it to make his son win by bribery. Both of them made a deal that if he won, they'll leave their home because Ting knows that her Sister's spirit is in their house. Unfortunately, Joy broke Ting's leg. They were about to move when an unfortunate incident happened. The electricity went out but his mom found out that Ting destroyed his sister's life because of Jealousy. and that's when Joy comes out and haunts her brother while she plays recorded tapes on her mom's room. Ting escape from her sister and barged in his mother's room. Suddenly, a video tape of Joy plays where she was still little and dancing like a ballerina. The final tape shows of Little Joy bidding farewell to them while she dances away.






                        The epilogue or the final part of the movie is the days that Joy was still alive. The days where Joy got the part of a movie, meets Singh and became his girlfriend, Meen makes a promise that she and Joy will still be friends forever, Singh bids farewell, Joy crying when her mother found out that she was stripping in front of a boy, who was Singh, she posts a status of getting a suicide, where Singh invites her for to go the beach, and leaving the house with the suitcase.



                         Overall, the movie talks about Jealousy, Friendship, Love and Truth. I would rate this movie a 7 out of 10.
